Which describes venue selection approaches?

• A. Both A and B
• B. Criteria-based evaluation
• C. Risk-based assessment
• D. Selection by lottery

Answer: (D)

When choosing a venue, one clear way to decide is to use a lottery, especially when several venues are equally viable and there’s no objective reason to prefer one over the others. A random draw removes bias and guarantees fairness, ensuring that each qualified venue has the same chance of being selected. This approach is a distinct method for making the final choice rather than just evaluating options. While criteria-based evaluation and risk-based assessment are important parts of analyzing venues, they describe processes used to compare options; they don’t by themselves finalize the selection in cases where merit is tied. The other option that references “both A and B” isn’t a standalone selection method, so it doesn’t describe how venues are chosen. Therefore, selecting by lottery best fits the concept of a concrete venue selection approach in this context.
